So here is the points chart for the 1990s. As with the last decade list I posted, there won't be much in terms of commentary as I've already written about all the songs in here.
The position of the song in the decade sales list is shown in brackets, based on the list posted here at Haven. It's also clear to see the differences in singles sales during different parts of the decade.
As with the 80s list, if more than one version of a song has charted, the points are combined.
The top 100 will be posted at the end.
Part 1 (40-36):
40(38) OASIS - Wonderwall (508 points)
Top 40 run: 2-3-4-5-8-11-10-7-6-5-6-9-18-22-25-32-30 / 36

Robson and Jerome being blocked “in my country” is slightly “phew” yet “what” and “what did we do?” at the same time.

At least you posted the superior Toni dance remix! I felt obliged on this occasion seeing as it was the main reason it stuck around in the charts for so long. |

Not going to lie - I bought all of these singles. I bought one, which accounts for half of those in this top 40 that I bought. |

The Titanic trailer was shown in cinemas literally a year before it was released. It was such a build up. I remember going to see Speed 2 and it was a trailer at Leicester Square and hyperventilating. Still feels weird to me Celine was in her 20s when it became a global hit.

8(12) ALL SAINTS - Never Ever (673 points)
Top 40 run: 3-5-6-5-4-4-4-2-1-2-2-4-5-3-7-11-19-25-30-37
7(1) ELTON JOHN - Something About The Way You Look Tonight/Candle In The Wind '97 (679 points)
Top 40 run: 1-1-1-1-1-3-3-4-5-7-11-10-11-10-11-10-13-21-32-39
6(58/76) BADDIEL, SKINNER & LIGHTNING SEEDS - Three Lions (682 points)
Top 40 run: 1-2-2-4-2-1-3-6-10-13-24-33-37 / 1-1-1-4-18-32-28-30-37
The list combines the totals for the original and 1998 versions of the song. The original on its own would've made the top 100. If you combine the sales for both versions, it is the decade's 10th biggest seller.

Not far away now, I wonder how that Bryan Adams will do on our combi-chart.
